<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The CR is out for ballot for a week.&nbsp; This is, apparently, a fairly automatic process.&nbsp; Votes and comments will be collected for a week.&nbsp; Discussion will be next week, 4/21 at 9AM Pacific time, 10AM Mountain time, 11AM Central time, 12noon Eastern time.&nbsp; I will keep an eye on the ballot for votes and comments during the week.&nbsp; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If there are any comments in advance, I will send those to Ira and Craig for discussion.&nbsp; If there are substantial changes, we will have to edit and re-ballot.&nbsp; In any case, the Core WG discussion will be next Friday morning, and I could really use some backup in case there are questions, hint, hint.&nbsp; I can handle MIB questions but not IPP questions.&nbsp; </FONT></P>
